- Assist with resolving billing issues, product returns, and other discrepancies in coordination with vendors and internal stakeholders.
- Provide support for inventory replenishment efforts by helping maintain appropriate stock levels and communicating supply needs to relevant teams.
- Partner with accounting, operations, and project personnel to ensure procurement activities remain accurate, timely, and well coordinated.
- Handle routine administrative tasks connected to the purchasing function, including data entry, filing, and status reporting. Requirements
